Piccolomini quote

Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini [alias Pope Pius II], 1405-1464

"Ed in vero, in imitor un imitante s'imita ancora in un certo modo il vero; essendo vero che quel tal'imitato imitante imita."

Romanian translation: "Si cu adevarat, in imitatie un imitant imita inca o data intr-un anumit mod adevarul; fiind adevarat ca acel imitant imitat imita."
